7 Breakfast Bowls to Get You Out of Bed

Bowls are hands-down the best vessel. They do everything plates can and more—letting us dump in random ingredients, mix them around, and call it a healthy meal. For example, these seven savory and sweet options, chosen specifically to get us (and you) out of bed. It’s no easy feat, but with things like chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a whole new take on quinoa, these recipes are up to the challenge.

This bowl may require a trip to the specialty grocery store (look for medjool dates, pepitas, goji berries, and chia seeds), but it’ll be worth it—and once you’re prepped, it’s easy to make happen in just 20 minutes.

Chia seeds always make us feel super virtuous, and they require so little effort we take them any chance we can get. Add in banana and blackberries for sweetness, and puffed cereal and almonds for that ever-important crunch.

This recipe’s texture can’t be beat, and with a drizzle of almond butter and a sprinkle of chocolate chips, it just might be the only way we ever eat quinoa again. (Probably not, but the temptation will always be there.)
